1lb Ground Beef, or to continue to keep it light use 1/2 Turkey/ 1/2 beef

1 (14oz) can tomato sauce

3 egg whites, whisked

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 tablespoon dried thyme

salt and pepper, to taste

shredded cheese Mozzarella, Provel or Parmesan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, use a spoon to remove the seeds and excess threads.
Place spaghetti squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. Make sure not to overcook!!

Add your ground beef/turkey to a large bowl and add ½ tablespoon of parsley, basil, and thyme and a bit of salt and pepper. Combine.

(See tip below on Fennel and Sage)

******TIP FENNEL can add a whole new flavor to your meat so try using just turkey meat with Fennel and Sage you will be AMAZED at how much flavor the meat has.

Make your ground beef into small bite-sized meatballs.

Now place a large skillet under medium heat, add a little olive oil then small meatballs.

Then add your can of tomato sauce, extra herbs, and salt and pepper.

After meatballs have cooked for about 3-4 minutes, flip them and let them simmer in the sauce.

While the meatballs are cooking through, remove your spaghetti squash from oven and use a fork to de-thread the squash. (Scrape it and it will shred and look like spaghetti)

Turn oven down to 350 degrees.

Spray your muffin pan then add your spaghetti squash threads pressing down in the middle of the cup for the meatball to sit.

Once the meatballs are done cooking, remove them from the sauce, and place each one in a muffin pan

Sprinkle a little Parmesan or provel or mozzarella cheese as your taste requires

Now pour just a little bit of beaten egg white on top of each muffin, spaghetti squash and the meatball.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until egg is completely cooked through.

Extra Sauce can be served in a side dish or added to the top before baking
